Pergolas for Pub Gardens for Otley Sites — Compliance Built In
The paperwork on a pub pergola matters as much as the pergola. Every Otley project we deliver ships with RAMS, CDM, structural calculations and public liability certificates before the first site visit.
The proof points that matter
- structural sign-off supplied where Leeds City Council / Bradford MDC / Kirklees / Calderdale / Wakefield MDC requires it
- commercial-rated heaters and motors with UK-supported spares
- engineered to the wind zone of your Otley garden — not a factory default
- installed on live-trading Otley venues without closing the garden

What we usually build here
a pergola with dropdown screens for smoking areas within local licensing rules
a heated, screened pergola turning a Otley beer garden into year-round covers
a matching set of pergolas across a large courtyard on A660

Frequently asked questions
Can you install without closing our Otley beer garden?
Yes — installs are phased around your service pattern. Foundations go in on a quiet weekday, the structure follows overnight or across a Monday. Trading isn't interrupted.
Do you supply RAMS and CDM for a Otley pub install?
Yes — every commercial pergola in Otley ships with site-specific RAMS, CDM paperwork, and public liability certificates ahead of the first site visit.
Can the louvres be closed in a Otley winter storm?
Yes — wind and rain sensors close the louvres automatically. Manual override sits on the manager's phone. colder than Leeds by a couple of degrees; Chevin winds can gust — specifying the front beam a size up is common practice.
Can we have heaters and screens?
Yes — infrared heater bars and motorised zip-screens are standard commercial upgrades on Otley pub pergolas. Both extend usable months significantly.
What warranty comes with a commercial pergola?
10 years structural, 5-10 on the motors and heaters, and manufacturer warranties on the electrical components.
